Life at The Top novel Chapter 1535

At this moment, Dean, who had always maintained the image of a modest and courteous gentleman in public, had a sinister glint in his gloomy expression.

The little prince’s words really hurt him. There was a long story behind this.

Gale had never been married in his life, so naturally, he would not have any descendants.

Therefore, he had done one thing for many decades, and that was adopt orphans all over the country. Moreover, he did it very low-key. Until now, not many people knew about it.

However, almost everyone who knew that Gale was doing this all thought that Gale was doing this for the sake of charity, which was undeniably a good thing. As an orphan adopted by Gale, Dean knew that Gale had another purpose for doing this.

That was to raise a successor that he was satisfied with. There was nothing wrong with such a thing, but Gale’s methods were anything but ordinary. He would raise the orphans as if he was raising malicious spirits.

Gale would often test the orphans. These tests would be based on the principle of survival of the fittest. The ones who failed would go back to where they came from, and the winners would be eligible to stay. Over the decades, Gale cultivated a large number of top talents from all walks of life. Dean himself was specially selected and cultivated after Gale came into contact with Jasper.

Hence before Dean met Jasper, he was already aware that the only reason why he was being presented such an opportunity was because Gale needed a young man who was like Jasper in order to defeat Jasper. With this premise in mind, there was no need for Gale to guide Dean, as the latter naturally regarded Jasper as his enemy since the start.

He had to prove himself by defeating Jasper so that he could show that he was the most successful successor Gale had cultivated.

“Jasper, what’s so excellent about you?”

Dean had a sinister look on his face, as if he had just torn off his disguise at this moment. He muttered, “One day, I will step on you in front of everyone!”

In the trading center in Nauritus City.

At this moment, the sky was turning bright, and some breakfast shops were preparing for the business day. Despite facing a fierce battle in the trading hall for the entire night, many of the workers still looked excited and energetic.

Only Jasper appeared a bit tired.

As the person who bore the most pressure, it was no use to tell the others the mental pressure he was under. “Mr. Laine, Quantum Fund’s offensive has slowed down.”

“Mr. Laine, the first trading day is officially over.”

The voices of Jake and Baz could be heard almost simultaneously.

Jasper rubbed his face with both hands, pulled himself together, and said, “Tell me today’s results.”

Jake took the data report and reported, “Today the Dow Jones Index opened at 7429 points. After a trading day, it closed at 7425 points, down 4 points.”

“But it is worth noting that the trading volume of the Dow Jones Index today has exceeded all historical records and more than doubled in one go. The trading volume of the entire Dow Jones Index today exceeded 20 trillion US dollars.”

“It can be said that just today, there will be 20 trillion US dollars of wealth flowing under the combined stewardship of us and Quantum Fund.”

“But it is undeniable that we did not complete the predetermined goal today.”

“We had aimed to penetrate the Dow Jones defensive line at 7400 points today, but we haven’t reached it yet. In other words…”

Jake put down the file in his hand. He looked a little off color as he said, “From a strategic perspective, we were completely defeated today.”
